On the seventh day of the ninth month, it was sunny. When Xu Jin stepped out of the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the morning sunlight just fell on him, warm, but it was very dazzling. He closed his eyes for a moment before slowly getting used to it.

It is said that since he returned to the capital on August 25, Xu Jin has spent twelve days and nights in prison, and at this moment he has finally regained his freedom, as if he has passed away.

Because of the lack of sunshine for many days, Xu Jin's face was a little pale, but as calm as ever, he stretched and took a deep breath of the air outside the prison. He felt that it was so fresh. The autumn sunshine was pouring on his body, warm, so comfortable, so freedom!

"Please please, your family has been waiting outside the Ministry of Justice for a long time." Fei Bin, the head of the Ministry of Justice, said politely.

"It's time for you to pay!" Xu Jin bowed, and then walked calmly outside the Ministry of Justice.

"Look, the master is out!"

"master!"

"My husband!"

"Brother-in-law!"

When Xu Jin came outside the gate of the Ministry of Justice, Xie Xiaowan and Xie Sanqian who had been waiting outside, and the servants and servants were instantly excited. Xie Xiaowan rushed over and threw herself into Xu Jin's arms like a suckling, and she was so excited that she burst into tears.

"Xiaowan!" Xu Jin hugged Xie Xiaowan tightly, feeling both distressed and happy. He must have made this girl worried for more than ten days.

"The master is out, he is fine... Haha, it's great, wuwu!" The two little cabbages and pear blossoms in early spring and summer were raining, crying and laughing, and were so excited that they were incoherent.

Xu Jin hugged Xie Xiaowan's slender waist and comforted her for a while, then the latter's emotions gradually calmed down. He embarrassedly wiped his husband's clothes wet with tears and said softly: "Sister Ruyi, Sister Jixiang, and Kang'er are still waiting at home. My husband, let's go home quickly."

"Well, go home!" Xu Jin nodded heavily and took Xiaowan's tenderness into the carriage.

Xie Sangun waved his horse whip and made a bang, shouting loudly: "Sit firmly, go home... Go!"

The wheels slowly turned and drove along the street towards Xiaofang. In early spring and early summer, Xu Fu and Xu Shou followed the carriage happily and trotted. The master went home. It was so good that the rain had passed and the sky was clear!

In the carriage, Xu Jin held Xie Xiaowan's tenderness, and the latter snuggled in his arms, his pretty face pressed against his chest, quietly listening to his husband's heartbeat, unable to say anything at ease.

"Mr., yesterday Lu Bing brought the Jinyiwei to search the house. People felt that the sky was about to collapse. Fortunately, I woke up the method I taught that day, so I pasted the frog picture on the door. Unexpectedly, it worked. The emperor came soon. This morning, Eunuch Bi from the Silijian sent someone to inform us to the Ministry of Justice to pick you up from prison!" Xie Xiaowan said with lingering fear.

Xu Jin smiled slightly. The reason why he was so calm was because he had this picture of "Rain Lotus Singing Frogs" in his hand. Xu Jin had long expected that with Zhu Houcong's deep longing for his biological father Zhu Youze, once he saw this picture of "Rain Lotus Singing Frogs", he would definitely remember his father, remembering the days in Jiangxi, and remembering Xiaowan and his kindness to him, he would naturally be unable to make up his mind to take his life!

Therefore, this "Rain Lotus and Frogs" was Xu Jin's last method to save his life. Until the last moment, he did not want to play this emotional card. Unexpectedly, the house was leaking and raining all night long. First, Wang Zhi rebelled, and then Xue Bingxin was found to be the daughter of King Anhua. This was the last straw that became the suppression of camels, so that Emperor Jiajing made up his mind to kill himself. As a last resort, Xu Jin had to throw out this "Rain Lotus and Frogs" to save his life.

"My husband, that frog picture has been taken away by the emperor." Xie Xiaowan said lightly.

Xu Jin nodded. This was long as he expected. After all, the gold medal of evasion can only be used once. It was normal for Emperor Jiajing to take it away. Even if he didn't take it away, this emotional card could only be played once.

About a quarter of an hour, the carriage returned to the Xu Mansion gate in Xiaofang. The servants and servants of the Xu Mansion were waiting in front of the mansion early on, looking forward to it. When they saw the carriage coming from afar, they immediately became boiling. The guy Dabao said loudly with a crutch: "Master, come back to the mansion, hurry up, light a brazier!"

The maids and mother-in-law immediately lit the brazier. When Xu Jin and Xie Xiaowan got off the carriage, they sprinkled it on Xu Jin with water soaked with grapefruit leaves. It is said that this can remove bad luck.

"The master crosses the brazier and gets rid of bad luck and goes well!" An old woman held the brazier at Xu Jin's feet and said authentically.

Although Xu Jin did not believe this, he followed the local customs and lifted his legs and stepped over the brazier.

After this disaster, the Xu family became more united. Everyone realized that the master was the pillar of the family. As long as the master was there, the sky would not collapse. Once the master lost his power, the whole mansion would suffer. For example, he was almost confiscated yesterday. So now the master returned to his house safely, and the whole mansion was smiling, which was even more lively than the festival.

"Dad!"

As soon as Xu Jin entered the mansion, the beautiful maid Yue'er hugged the young master Xu Kang and greeted him. The little guy is four years old now and has begun to be sensible. The adults are worried these days, and Xiao Xu Kang also vaguely realizes something, so he is much more obedient than usual and does not cause trouble for the adults. At this time, when he sees his father coming back, the little family will be very happy.

"Kang'er!" Xu Jin hugged his pink son from Yue'er's arms and kissed him. The latter was thrust by the father's jaw and suddenly burst into laughter.

"Husband!"

"Husband!"

With two soft crys, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang walked out of the house with the help of their maids. The former Yichen Yixi's pretty face was full of joy, while the latter's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Xu Jin quickly put down his son, quickly met and hugged the two beautiful wives, and apologized: "Ruyi, Jixiang, husband has made you worry!"

The family was talking happily, and the eunuch of the Sili Principal Bi Yun came in person. As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he whispered loudly: "The imperial edict has arrived, Xu Jin received the edict."

Xu Jin quickly ordered someone to set up the incense table, weighed his sleeves, and solemnly knelt down in front of the incense table, while Xie Xiaowan knelt down beside him.

"The emperor said that Sister Ruyi and Sister Jixiang are pregnant, there is no need to kneel down!" Eunuch Bi smiled.

Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were about to kneel down, but when they heard this, they stood still. They said softly and said in unison: "Thank you, the Emperor!"

Bi Yun opened the imperial edict and said loudly: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: "The Marquis of Jinghai Xu Jin, who had a relationship with the White Lotus demon, disobeyed the emperor's order, did not observe the use of people, and even the king rebelled... According to the law, he should be punished, but his great merits were made, and he was especially exempted from his death penalty, but his death penalty could be avoided, and he could not escape the crime of living. Now he was stripped of his title, removed from the position of Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, demoted to the Chief of the Imperial College (the eighth rank), and took office within the month. In addition, he deprived of Princess Yongxiu of Xu Xie and his third-rank imperial edict, and deprived of the Fei sisters of the fifth-rank imperial edict, and he was deprived of this!"

Zhu Houguan's imperial edict was summarized as a derogatory position and official position of Xu Jin, demoted to Nanjing Imperial College to be an eighth-rank official. Moreover, Xie Xiaowan's title and imperial edict were also taken away, and Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang's fifth-rank edicts were also stripped away.

In other words, the Xu family is not much different from ordinary people now, so after the imperial edict was finished, the servants and servants were like frost and beat eggplant. Xie Sanqian was even more angry and secretly called Zhu Houguan the ungrateful boy. If his sister and brother-in-law had not saved him and taken him in for more than half a year, he would have died on the streets of Shangrao County. Moreover, his brother-in-law made countless contributions over the years, but he would have wiped out all the imperial edicts. This is outrageous!

Xu Jin didn't care. The result was better than he expected. After all, he committed the death penalty of beheading the head and raiding the house. Moreover, the emperor had approved the death penalty. Now he went back on his word. He had to "re-sentence" himself to appease the officials of the court, so as not to say that he was favoritism and abuse of power.

Therefore, Zhu Hougui's imperial edict seemed ruthless, but for Xu Jin, it was a great emperor's grace. He only deprived him of various titles and official positions, but did not cause any substantial harm. Moreover, the fame of the Jinshi was still there. Although the Imperial College Supervisor was only eighth rank, he was still an official after all. In addition, his family property was not confiscated. Even when he arrived in Nanjing, the Xu family could still live a rich life by relying on savings and the industry under his name.

Speaking of which, Xu Jin did not have much ambition when he participated in the imperial examinations. He just wanted to get rid of the current difficulties and live a free and prosperous life. Now he was demoted to Nanjing to be a minor official, which was exactly what he thought back then.
